Beefeater launches new menu with dishes as cheap as £5

Whitbread steak pub arm Beefeater has unveiled a new Daytime Saver menu with dishes available for £5.

The menu offers five options including beer-battered fish and chips, roasted vegetable linguine, 6oz gammon steak, an open chicken sandwich and a beef steak burger alongside steak and triple-cooked chips, priced at just £6.

The dishes are available at 130 of Beefeater’s 150-strong estate, from Monday to Saturday, 12noon until 6.30pm.

This presents an opportunity for pubs to tap into the coffee segment, according to trade experts with almost a third (29%) of customers already going to the pub for a hot drink over any other beverage or meal.
